Hi,

Not sure if this is an issue or something we doing wrong.
When sending meeting requests from Exchange 2007 via MS Outlook 2007, it is added to the Afterlogic Webmail clients Calendar without any issues.

When creating a Calendar entry in Afterlogic, and then send an invite to a MS Exchange user that is using MS Outlook 2007, the invite is received, but as a .ics file attachment and it wants to add/open a new Internet Calendar to MS Outlook 2007.

Is there a way that Calendar invites from Afterlogic to Exchange(Outlook) users can be accepted in the default Exchange(Outlook) Calendar?

Thanks and regards

I'll ask the developers to look into this. Are you using PHP or .NET version of the product?
Please also confirm this is about 6.* release.

Hi,

The Afterlogic suite is installed on Linux so I would say PHP.

How can I see which release I am using?

As long as this is about MailSuite Pro for Linux, that's actually all the info we need. Take a look into
\webmail\calendar\ical_lib.php file, line ~42, you'll find createCalendar function there. It holds the
following line:

Code:
$calendar .= $this->createNameProp($this->_name);


This line assign name for the calendar, I believe tweaking this would allow you to do what you're looking for.

Hi Igor,

I am not a developer so honestly I would not know what to do with this line.
I do not wish to change the Calendar name.

What I want is when I send an invite from Afterlogic Calendar to Exchange Calendar, the meeting request, aka calendar entry must be added to the current Exchange calender.
It creates a new calendar in Exchange instead of just adding the entry to the Exchange calender.

I created a new calender in Afterlogic and named it the same as my Exchange calendar, so my Afterlogic calendar is called Calendar, and my Exchange calendar is called Calendar.

I create a meeting entry in the Afterlogic calender, and invite an Exchange user.
The Exchange user receives the invite as an attachment called "invite.ics"
When selecting this attachment, the following pop-up appears:
Add this Internet Calendar to Outlook
Calendar
Attachment "invite.ics" from "You've received invitation to event Test from GSSIT Test      account @ Tue, 29 Mar 2011, 08:00 - 08:30 (GMT+02:00 Johannesburg)"

When I select "YES", instead of the entry appearing in my current Exchange calendar, another calendar is created next to my existing calendar.

So now my Exchange users must manage 2 calendars, one for Exchange and all the Exchange users and one for Afterlogic and all the Afterlogic users.


I hope this explains it a bit better.

Hi Igor,

OK I see Afterlogic is making use of iCalendar and MS Exchange not, they are proprietary.

Seems if we want the two to talk we will need an iCal plugin of sorts for all Outlook users.

Do you have something like that or do we need to look elsewhere?
If so can you recommend?
